More quotes by E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
In the creative state a man is taken out of himself.
E. M. Forster
Man can learn everything if he will but try.
E. M. Forster
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
Do you suppose there's any difference between spring in nature and spring in man? But there we go, praising the one and condemning the other as improper, ashamed that the same laws work eternally through both.
E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster
Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.
E. M. Forster
Most of life is so dull that there is nothing to be said about it, and the books and talk that would describe it as interesting are obliged to exaggerate, in the hope of justifying their own existence.
E. M. Forster
How few writers can prostitute all their powers!
E. M. Forster
Don't be mysterious there isn't the time.
E. M. Forster
Lord I disbelieve - help thou my unbelief.
E. M. Forster
Love is always being given where it is not required.
E. M. Forster
